Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1911.

Application filed September 8, 1909. Serial No. 516,753.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that WILLIAM A. BURNOP,

late of the town of .Dee'rfield, county of this life, I, ESTHER A. BURNOP, administrator of said WILLIAM A. Bonner, deceased,

pursuant to letters of administration issuedby the surrogates court of the county of Gneida on the 4th day of May, 1908, and

acting as such, do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part ofthis specification.

Generally stated, the object of the invention is to provide a computing and registering device, which is certain in its operation,

. easily and conveniently operated and generally effective.

The invention as hereinafter shown and described is particularly adapted to useon or in connection with a typewriting machine, althongh it is adapted to be used independentl of a writing machine.

In the d evice about to be described the power for working the computing and registeringl mechanism is not derived from the keys. mechanism. They may all have the same length of stroke and require always the same blow or stroke to operatethem without ref erence to whether muchor little of the computing and registering mechanism is at the time operating.

In the mechanism about to be described the power to operate the computing and registering mechanism is derived from a spring motor wound to the extent it has run down by or in connection with the return of the typewriter carriage. A variable escapement mechanism controlled by the keys allows the motor to operate the computer to the extent required at each operation of a key. Mechanism for throwing into operation and throwing out of operation the computing mechanism during a certain definite butchangeable part of the travel ofthe typewriter carriage is provided. F catn p-s The keys'are utilized to release the.

of novelty exist in the computing and registering mechanism, the motor or driving mechanism and the release or escapement mechanism (which generally speaking are the main parts of the machine) and considered separately and independently. The computing mechanism is adapted to add and subtract as well as register the amount.

IV and V) constituting farther portions of the frame. The balance of the case is formed with a removable sheet metal front and bottom piece (33 (Figs. III and VI). Arranged within the case thus formed is a set of independent rotatable computing and registering rings or disks (3 t, 64", 64, etc., (Figs. IV and V.) nine of such being shown in the drawings. These registering wheels or rings are mounted in the case as follows:

xleferring to Figs. IV., V., and VI., a bearing bar It") is provided firmly secured in the top of the frame and having a set of dependent hangers ti5, the lower edges of which are made semi-circular to constitute the upper half of the bearings for the registering wheels or rings (34. The lower portion of the. bearing is formed by a removable spring clip (36, the upper projecting arms of which are adapted to snap over the spreading or flaring sides of the hangers 65 as shown in Fig. VI. Externally on one of its threaded Cylli'ltlllCtll ends the registering r ng or wheel (34 is provided with a one toothed gear ring (37 (Figs. V. and VIII) wedging on or swet on to the ring or wheel, whereby it becomes substantially an integral part thereof. Each of the other computing or registering rings (35 64:, etc. are provided with a similar ring (37. Each of the other registering rings or wheels (34 6st, etc. are also provided on the opposite end of the reduced cylindrical portion with a gearpinion ring 8 having teeth around its entire circumference, and also wedged or swet on to the body of the ring whereby it-becomes substantially a fixed integral portion thereof. The rings 67 and 8 together with the body portion of the rings or wheels which carry the characters embossed on their peripheral faces, fully occupy the spaces be-.

tween the bearings 1n the hangers 65*, whereby the rings or wheels are held against longitudinal movement in the case.
